20 Execution Victims Litter the Streets of Ciudad Madero

First set of 3 bodies placed to form the letter Z (signature used by Zeta sicarios)

In a horrendous show of force 20 victims of organized crime-style executions were tossed onto the streets of Ciudad Madero, Tamaulipas by suspected rival drug cartel gangsters. Ciudad Madero is located on the gulf coast of Mexico 250 miles south of Brownsville, Texas.

A spokesman for the state prosecuter’s office of Tamaulipas said the 20 bodies had been recovered from the streets in four different neighborhoods of the city. Among the dead were 18 men and 2 women. None of the victims were identified by authorities.

All the victims were bound and showed signs of torture and gunshot wounds. They were members of a criminal gang known as “los alacranes”, the scorpions. Some of the bodies had “narco” posters attached but authorities did not release the contents of the messages.

The spokesman for the state prosecutor’s office also stated that a group of gunmen had entered the Tampico-Altamira-Ciudad Madero area Thursday and were attacking and executing rival organized crime groups in all 3 cities.

Tamaulipas is the home territory of the Gulf cartel (CDG). It has become a no-man’s land since February of this year when a bloody war began with the rival Zeta criminal organization for control of drug trafficking in northeastern Mexico.

The Zetas and the CDG were previously partners in a single drug cartel that split apart after 2007 when the leader of the organization, Osiel Cardenas, was extradited to the U.S.

The deaths in Ciudad Madero were only one incident in a wave of violence that has overwhelmed Mexico since Thursday morning.

In Ciudad Juarez gunmen executed 19 people in a drug rehab center Thursday night and 3 municipal police officers Thursday evening. One decapitated body was also found Thursday afternoon.

In the capital city of Chihuahua, 2 men were found handcuffed and shot to death Thursday morning. The previous day 8 men were murdered by groups of gunmen in several shootings.

In Altamira, Tamaulipas, located a short distance from Ciudad Madero, 1 policeman was killed and 2 were seriously injured Thursday morning.

In the municipality of Teloloapan, Guerrero, a group of gunmen traveling in 4 cars attacked a military convoy early Thursday morning. The army repelled the assault and reported 2 of the gunmen killed and 7 detained. An unknown number of the criminal group escaped.

They were among a group of men abducted by a band of gunmen traveling in a group of up to 20 vehicles who attacked and occupied overnight the small town of Baburia, Sinaloa. Several vehicles, homes and business were burned down. Most of the population escaped and hid in the countryside during the orgy of gunfire and arson.

A family was shot down in their home Friday night in the town of Tultepec, Mexico state. The mother and her 1 year 4 month old child were killed. The father was seriously injured. The attack was allegedly caused by a dispute related to drug trafficking.

What do the Mex Fed police do eat donuts and watch TV ?? How can a village be captured all night and there is no response from law enforcment? Huw can Drug hit squad go to a town and kill 20 people with no response from law enforcment ? Who is running this Railroad?? Just where in the hell are the thousands an thousands of Fed Troops special forces Marines etc I keep hearing about? Have any of you heard of Sierra Leon or Executive Outcome how about Blackwater?? Kill every son of a bitch its time ---

Blackwater is a great idea. They dont come cheap of course but they do get the job done. I am betting that Mexico will be a little more cohesive about letting the dogs loose on them. The cartels operate under the guise of torture and fear. They have no idea to the extent that Blackwater can bring to the party.

Things are different in mexico. Its not like usa. The police are not like here. If they try to do anything they will be killed. Families are killed by refusal to join the cartel. The cartel kills everyone n then they recruit ppl. Willing or non willing. Its sad
